Resources & tips for beginning with Silverlight

Question

I recently found out that I will be part of a project that will use Silverlight. Since I will be doing interface design for this application I was wondering if I could get help with some tips & resources.

1. So what are the tips that you wish you had gotten when you started with Silverlight?
2. And what resources have you found valuable for starting and progressing with Silverlight?

Already found a similar post but I still would like more:

• Good resource for learning Silverlight 2 development

Clarification:
I will be creating the interface for an application where the back-end stuff (algorithms) are being created by a developer intern (I'm an intern also).
